Trivia

 * This is the first hour-long Red Green special that is not a clip show.
 * On the 1998 Season DVD, this episode was severely edited. The only segments that were featured were:
 * The Possum Lodge Word Game
 * If It Ain't Broke, You're Not Trying (with Hap and Edgar)
 * Arnie's song
 * Handyman Corner
 * Red's Sage Advice
 * Harold and then Red making Christmas advent calendars out of chains
 * Adventures With Bill
 * This episode marks the first one since The Schoolhouse Project where two Lodge members instead of one (in this case, Mike and Dalton) join Red and Harold in a "The Experts" segment.

Inside References

 * In Bill's scene, he pulls out two axes out of his pants.

Real-World References

 * The title of this episode is likely based on the 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life, whose story takes place during the Christmas season.
 * The Ghost of Christmas Past (which is what Red claims his parents call Harold) refers to a character in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

Fast Forward

 * Another Christmas special, A Very Merry Red Green Christmas, would be released in 2000.
